Libellula Extra Virgin Olive Oil - The 2024 Harvest
Typical extra virgin olive oil has about 100mg/kg of polyphenols and antioxidants - the stuff that protects against cancers, cardiovascular diseases, skin aging, and neurodegenerative diseases. Because our collective of family farmers uses regenerative farming and presses our olives early in the season when they have a higher concentration of nutrients, Libellula is 3-6 times higher in polyphenols and antioxidants.
The 2024 Classico has a polyphenol count between 350 to 400 mg/kg. Flavor Notes: floral & peppery with undertones of apple & artichoke. The 2024 Riserva, our earliest harvest and limited press, has a polyphenol count between 500 and 600 mg/kg. Flavor Notes: bright, herbaceous, spicy, with undertones of walnut.
Once you've tasted Libellula, you don't want to cook with or eat any other oil anymore.

We love Libellula olive oil. It's among the best we have ever had and we use a lot of olive oil!
The idea of helping maintain these olive trees is
very satisfying.

After trying Libellula next to the organic Californian olive oil I have always used, I was stunned.
I will never buy sub-par olive oil again!

Libellula's adopt a tree program allowed me to feel connected to Italy all the way from the United States, and for this I am ever grateful.

I have been a fan of Libellula since its inception and I'm even more impressed with not only the product -- which is exceptional -- but the attention to detail that goes into everything around it, not to mention the solar-powered well and additional initiatives to support sustainable agriculture in the region at a time when this kind of approach is sorely needed.
